TUCSON, AZ - Deputy U.S. Marshals have shot and killed a fugitive they were trying to arrest in Tucson.

U.S. Marshal for Arizona David Gonzales tells The Associated Press that a fugitive task force was following a man wanted for parole violations but suspected of being involved in at least one slaying just before noon Wednesday.

The suspect pulled into a central Tucson Circle K convenience store and the surveillance team moved in to make the arrest.

Gonzales says the suspect got out of his vehicle and started shooting at his team. The deputy marshals returned fire, killing the man. No agents were hurt.

Tucson police are investigating the shooting. They have not released any details.
